Use Sphider as SMF Search

[Michael James Swan]

Hello,

I am looking to keep the SMF Search bar, however for it to access the search database of my Sphider Installation.

i.e. If someone searches on my main website, it will query the Sphider Database and provide a result (including the forum as that has been indexed).

So, I would like it to also be: If someone uses the search box on the SMF 2.0.8 forum, then it queries the Sphider Database and provides a result.

I know people have managed to do this to allow Google Custom Search...

This is the search code on my website:

Code Select Expand


<form action="http://stream.ph/search/search.php" method="get">
<input type="text" value="" name="query" id="query" placeholder="Search..." required="required" name="s" />
                                <input type="submit" value="Search">
                                <input type="hidden" name="search" value="1">
                                </form>


Notice the FORM ACTION part....

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
